As always, librarians, when it comes to our Morning Book Buzz, you bring the coffee AND the conversation. And we are more than happy to bring the books. This month during our September 6th buzz, we asked: What was your favorite summer read? See the full episode recap here and keep reading to see many of your summer book picks below!
Hosts Kelly, Miriam, and Liz discussed their picks:
Kelly: “I did love my Richard Russo. If you are a fan of the Everybody’s Fool/Nobody’s Fool series of books [North Bath Trilogy]. . . I was so happy to visit with Sully again, he’s one of my favorite book characters ever. . . I really did love it.”
Miriam:
“The book that I read this summer that I truly, truly enjoyed was THE UNDERWORLD by Susan Casey. She’s really an exceptional adventurer and chronicler of scientific history. . . she brings us along to the fantastical world of the deep ocean; the hidden worlds thousands of feet under the sea.”
Liz: “I read WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE by Terrance Hayes. This is a poetry primer in a lot of ways; it’s got timelines of literary luminaries from Elizabeth Bishop to Sylvia Plath to Audre Lorde, Lucille Clifton. . . it is such a fun, lighthearted and historical [book]. . . just the least intimidating poetry introduction that you can imagine and Terrance Hayes is just a total master.”
